COVID-19 Updates: Safer Service for You
June 1st, 2021
The safety and wellbeing of our customers and employees remains our #1 priority. With the recent CDC recommendation that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask or social distance indoors, we are updating our mask/face covering policy to align with this recommendation, subject to local laws. For customers and teammates who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, masks/face coverings and social distancing is still required. Customers who choose not to come into the store can continue to use our enhanced in-store health and safety practices and safer service options.

At Bridgestone Retail Operations, the safety and wellbeing of our customers and employees continues to be our #1 priority. Beginning Thursday, July 30th, and continuing until further notice, face coverings will now be required in all stores. This precaution is in addition to our enhanced in-store health and safety practices and safer service options.
We will also be providing complimentary face masks for anyone entering without a face covering.
If you would prefer to not enter a store, please take advantage of one of our safer service options including quick and easy Curbside Drop-off and select Contact-Free services.

At Bridgestone Retail Operations, we strive to be the most trusted provider of tire automotive service in every neighborhood we serve. As such, we are closely monitoring the global COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation via the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and with local, state, and federal health administrations.
To date, we have taken a number of proactive measures to help ensure the health and safety of customers and employees across all 2,200 of our company-owned Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus, Hibdon Tires Plus and Wheel Works store locations.
We have established a cross-functional team to assess the best prevention methods across our locations and are taking additional preventative measures to help stop the potential spread of COVID-19 within our locations. Some of these measures include:
Handwashing protocols with an increased focus on washing between each customer transaction.
Steering wheel covers, where present, will be used on all vehicles entering the bay.
Hand sanitizer, where available, will be utilized throughout our store locations for customers and teammates.
Disposable gloves will be used by our customer service teams and technicians as needed.
Our employees have also been asked to stay home should they not feel well enough to come to work. We would also like to encourage our customers to think through how they can minimize risk as well. If you or a loved one aren’t feeling well, give us a call and we will happily reschedule your appointment to another day.
Rest assured, the safety of our employees and customers remains our top priority. The steps noted above are to protect both our employees and customers while remaining open for the communities we serve.
Please accept our thanks in advance for your help and understanding as we all work together during this challenging time.
Customers with additional concerns regarding our store locations and COVID-19 should call 1-844-293-7514.
